May 2021 Newsletter.Pub Municipality of Colchester NEWSLETTER Inside this issue: May 2021 Volume 26 Issue 2 A Message from the From the Mayor’s Desk RCMP 3 Colchester Honours and Remembers the Lives Lost, April 2020: Public Works 3 On April 18 and 19, the Municipality of Colchester honoured and remembered the 22 lives and unborn Waste Resource 4 child that were so senselessly taken from us one year Management ago. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims’ families, loved ones and all who were impacted. Community The grieving process relating to this tragedy has been 7 Development very difficult for many, both due to the extreme nature of the tragedy and to the pandemic and inability to gather in larger groups. Many remain traumatized and Recreation 9 will continue to grieve and heal, individually, in their own way, in their own time, along with those around Colchester Regional them who offer love and support. EMO 12 The anniversary was a time to acknowledge and remember the lives of those lost, and to recognize the courage and resilience of those most deeply affected. In remembrance, the Municipality lowered flags at its facilities to half-mast and lit the Municipal Office, the visitor centre at the Fundy Discovery Site, and the Five Islands Lighthouse, in blue. Other organizations and community members were encouraged to join in similar expressions of observance that included hanging flags in windows and tying Nova Scotia tartan to mailboxes. Many participated in the Nova Scotia Remembers Memorial Race, Commemorative Walk, and viewed the touching Memorial Ceremony that was televised nationwide. These opportunities to grieve together were important to the healing of our communities, though were indeed a reminder of how deeply we remain affected today. It has been apparent by the outpouring of love and support received from around the province, country and the world, that this tragedy has greatly impacted many. We have been humbled by the show of kindness and support that Colchester has received. The Municipality of Colchester thanks all who have offered condolences, kind gestures, expressions of remembrance, and donations to support the community and the families of Housing the victims.

May we all find comfort and solace in those around us both now and in the days ahead. My sincere Page 2 Municipality of Colchester condolences. Permanent Memorial: It is with the deepest respect that the Municipalities of Colchester, Cumberland, East Hants and Halifax Regional Municipality wish to discuss a permanent memorial with family representatives. We will be reaching out to you in the near future. Our Colchester Volunteers: National Volunteer Week was held April 18 to 24, 2021. It was a time to celebrate and thank our many volunteers in Colchester County, and in Nova Scotia, in recognition of their contributions to our communities. Volunteering is a selfless act. Volunteers expect nothing in return for their countless hours, sharing their skills and experience to help others. In Nova Scotia, we are told over 52 percent of Nova Scotians volunteer their time in some way. While they enjoy the camaraderie of a team effort, or the gratification of helping others, they inspire us, give strength to our communities and truly make a difference. Each year, pre-COVID times, in a cooperative event at which we partner with the Town of Truro, we celebrate with our volunteers and recognized each personally. With COVID restrictions and health directives, we’ve had to change from that in-person event. In Colchester County for 2021, we are recognizing 23 volunteers, plus six 50+ year recipients in our fire service. Along with the many charitable and non-profits, service clubs and various other organizations in our County, Colchester is very fortunate to have 17 fire brigades, and the Colchester Ground Search & Rescue team, all of whom are dedicated volunteers. 2021 Fire Service Recipients are: from the Salmon River Fire Brigade; Robert Taylor (60 years), Hermine Langille (55 years), Don McGill (55 years) and Kenny Campbell (50 years). From the Brookfield Fire and Emergency Service; Herb MacFarlane (55 years) and Charlie Burnett (55 years). On behalf of our Council, staff and residents in Colchester County, I want to thank each and every one of you for your time, and your many contributions to our communities. COVID-19: We are now into our second year like no other we have ever experienced due to COVID-19. We are faced with increased numbers of cases in our province, which is considered to be the safest province in the country, thanks to our own Dr. Robert Strang, his team of professionals, the backing of the provincial government, and our own strength and determination. We must remain vigilant. Continue to follow the health directives, get vaccinated as soon as possible, continue social distancing and wearing masks. As a Municipality, Colchester continues to follow all the health protocols as directed. Please stay safe. We will persevere. In Closing: We are beginning to see some warmer weather, despite a few cooler days and some snowflakes in the air. It’s good to have spring here again. Spring is a time for renewal, rejuvenation, for brighter days, and for optimism. Enjoy each day!

May 2021 Page 5 Colchester Compost Giveaway Due to Covid, last year’s compost giveaway was cancelled. Normally, free compost is available during Compost Awareness Week – the first full week in May.

Due to the Provincial Lockdown at the time of press, the free compost program will begin the day after restrictions are lifted. If you have previously made an appointment, please contact us with your information – address, telephone and/or email. We will be able to reschedule and contact you once the restrictions are lifted. Compost can be purchased for $2/ bag (animal feed bag size - 21” x 41”) or $35/metric tonne all year long – when there are no public health restrictions in place. All compost orders-free or purchased, require an appointment. To book an appointment, call 902-895-4777.

  • Death & Disease
    ATLANTIC HEALTH DATABASE PART C DEATH & DISEASE ATLANTIC HEALTH DATABASE ii Part C ─ Death & Disease NOTE This volume is a companion to Appendix C, and contains brief text descriptions, definitions, data sources, and charts to accompany the Tables in the appendix. Of particular interest are gender differences in the results, so data in the various indicator sets are presented for both males and females. This volume highlights which Atlantic region health districts have higher or lower rates of particular illnesses or causes of death according to Statistics Canada’s raw statistics. However, in many cases, sample sizes at the health district level were small, and the text does not account for the high variability that may result from wide confidence intervals. Statements comparing death and disease rates at the health district level should therefore be interpreted with caution. For most mortality and morbidity indicators, confidence intervals are provided in the accompanying appendix.1 Please see Part A for descriptions of the 21 Atlantic region health districts, which, in the case of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, do not necessarily correspond with actual health region administrative boundaries. Please note that at the time this volume was compiled, the latest available Statistics Canada mortality and morbidity data at the health district level were for 1996. As this volume went to press, 1997 mortality and 1998 morbidity data became available. Subject to interest by users, GPI Atlantic intends to have this database updated on a regular basis. 1 For example, in Section 3.1.2.2 of this volume, on ischaemic heart disease death rates, the following paragraph appears: “As with all comparative data at the health district level, these results should be interpreted with caution due to small sample sizes and correspondingly wide confidence intervals.
